Jumbo J: Hey Jim,

I was just thinking of a couple possible scenarios. I might be way off base, but maybe not.

1.) Any chance Pisa can be moved to SS? Chavous is about done and Pisa is a small LB.

2.) Do you think we could move SJ this off-season to acquire draft picks? Does his new contract make it too cost prohibitive? Perhaps one of Philly or Detroit's 1st round picks?

Thanks for your time.

Jim Thomas: 1.) Interesting point. Martz considered it during the offseason a few years back. Although he's fast, I wonder if Pisa could cover well enough to play strong safety.

2.) Jackson isn't going anywhere.

vanvaley1: How many players have Rams taken from practice squads of winning and/or playoff teams in the last two years? van

Jim Thomas: This year, TE Daniel Fells was signed off Tampa Bay's practice squad; RB Kenneth Darby came from Atlanta's;

James: Jim,

I realize the draft is a long way away but this season is over and at least it gives me something to look forward too. My question is: if we end up with the 4th overall pick, what if the top rated OT's are already off the board? If that is the case will we trade down and try to fill more needs?

By the way, enough excuses for Bulger and Jackson. Bulger is not a guy that can make his team better, he needs people around him. Jackson held out and look what happens, injuries and inconsistent play. Blow the team up and start over. This is the worst Ram football team in our history. No one even tries anymore and losing has become an expected thing. I like Haslett but I don't think he is the one to lead us. We need a really respected outside guy to come in and lay down the law. Cut or trade everyone that has not performed and bring in guys that are hungry and have nothing to lose. At least the games will be more exciting!

Go Rams!

Jim Thomas: Obviously, a lot can change between now and April, but right now, the top three offensive tackles among seniors are: Michael Oher, Mississippi, 6-5, 320; Eugene Monroe, Virginia, 6-5, 315; and Jason Smith, Baylor, 6-5, 300.
The top underclassmen is Alabama's Andre Smith, 6-4, 340.

Rick: Aside from the mounting loses on the field, any update on Chip's thinking in regards to the front office changes ? Rumors of Devaney becoming the GM, and Chip hand picking Shaw's replacement are a few weeks old. What is the latest news on a new direction for the team at the top ?

Thanks,

From, Maine

Jim Thomas: I don't really think there's anything new to report. Again, I'm not sure a new president is named. (In other words, the Rams go without one.)

radjohns: Jim,

In your opinion what are the odds on each of the following people being with the Rams next season?

Torry Holt
Richie Incognito
Drew Bennett
Ron Bartell
OJ Atogwe
Orlando Pace
Jim Haslett

Thanks for your time.
Alex Barron

Jim Thomas: Holt: 50-50
Incognito: 75-25
Bennett: 65-35 (because of cap considerations)
Bartell: 75-25
Atogwe: 75-25
